'Make the decision on...,' Ex-spinner Danish Kaneria wants Pakistan cricket to learn from India coach Gambhir

Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria feels that Pakistan cricket needs to learn from India coach Gautam Gambhir to be strong and "make thedecision on the face."Kaneria made the remarks after Pakistan's recent 0-2 Test series loss against Bangladesh at home.

"Why today other teams are doing so well? Why is the Indian team doing so well? They had a Rahul Dravid who worked with the team very well now they have Gautam Gambhir, a fantastic cricketer and fantastic guy. The way he reacts, he tells on the face. He doesn't go back and do backbiting; he's on the face straight away. This is how you have to be. You have to be strong, and like a strong person, you have to make the decision on the face, not at the back,” said Kaneria while talking to news outlet Republic TV.

There are reports doingrounds which suggest that Pakistan's white-ball skipper Babar Azam may be removed amid the rut of form. Babar was recently handed the captaincy back after being sacked in the aftermath of the 2023 ODI World Cup where Pakistan failed to make it to the semis.

“Everything is taken for granted; that's why the downfall of Pakistan cricket has gone through making captains, changing captain. That will not work. Stick to your captain stick with him," Kaneria said.

"Okay, I have made him the captain for one year. I will ask him. I will ask him to give me an answer after one year. Nobody will touch him you have full support from me, but you need to perform. If you don't perform, you go out, so that's the thing you have to make tough decisions. Why, if you don't make tough decisions, things will not work," he added.

Pakistan Test skipper Shan Masood's position is also under scrutiny after successive whitewash against Australia in Australia and against Bangladesh at home. Their next Test assignment is a home Test series against England.
